Hi [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION],

I've modified your script a little and given it a third option, to also include a couple of extra files that are needed in the newer firmwares.

Do you object to me making it available to the community now that you've closed your original thread?

Of course all credits remain with you, it just helps those who need it as I've been hit with PMs about how to get the newer versions working.

I've had to notify you in this way (creating a thread) as it says you do not receive private messages any more.

Regards,

RavenY2K3

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenY2K3:
Last post he did was in a Nexus 5 thread, I've been told by mods I cannot post bugger all unless I get his go ahead, even if I rewrite it from scratch as it's still his method if you know what I mean.

So I have added something extra, to what was already a great tool to help people, but cannot release a thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klau1:
I mean, maybe you can post a couple requests in his Nexus 5 thread just to make sure he's seeing your messages.

Atleast we'll know whether he's intentionally ignoring or not.

Just rewrite it, rebrand it. You can't copyright code.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
"Just take it, casually "rewrite it", call it something else..."

do you know how many have been banned for stuff like that?

I also see the OP has thanked you, I had come in here to give the go ahead, but you guys are ready to kang things and call it good.

So, for now, no, the license stands as is.

Flagging this for a mod to kill off now.

I think you are the complete opposite of what XDA stands for in the name of Android development. No sharing. No help. No assistance. Just lock up your own code for some Internet fame.

I don't even care about vega as my knox is tripped.

It's not right that you can just say, "okay this code is now licensed under xyz license" and then you don't even offer support? There is a difference between a kang and a rewrite...

What do you gain by licensing it? I read that you stated it's because you don't want to support the other kangs or something? Well, nobody expects you to.

You are just hampering development for this device.

Just my two cents and not meaning to be a personal attack but I just don't see your motive.

It wouldn't have gone up, after the mods filled me in on the "Ins and outs" and even if you'd have stayed away, I wouldn't have posted it, I got PMs for it, but didn't disclose anything, because I "respectfully" understood why.

Even if you had have stayed dark, it wouldn't have been posted without your permission... it would have been annoying as hell, but not released.

As for the comment above, I thanked because I can sort of see what he's getting at about the code, rewrite it another language, it becomes something different that achieves the same result.

The fact you've reopened the original thread, has restored my faith in humanity ;)

Don't have one for my note 3. This is the first I've seen of it though this is what I've been waiting for.

I've used them on my previous phones, galaxy s4 and droid razr maxx hd. They work well. Have to be careful not to break the clips for the kickstand (they're just two tiny dots).

Fairly sturdy too.

I never used the belt clip though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Well I have created this thread just to depict its blet clip quality because I have also used this kind of belt clip case on my previous phones but the quality of belt clip was not that much fine enough to go on for a long time...but after using this case I can say the toughness of this belt clip is really the one to be trusted and I have also mentioned in my above post that I am trying to contact the operations person or the CEO as if which product material they are using for the belt clip as it is really tough and strong one....so just waiting for a reply and will surely update you whatever they revert......
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mha1021:
I don't have this case but i bought similar ones for my note 2 and note 1 and i only used holster/ belt clip not the case itself because the case doesn't protect the phone that much, the TOP and the Bottom of the phone is not covered so i would use a TPU case with that Holster.

Since i need a belt clip for my phone, i am gonna buy this coz you recommend that it has better belt clip and thats what i need not the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Yes as per my experience and usage I will strongly recommend that belt clip one....as I have also used the many but I find this one much better one.....So I would recommend you to go for it.....:good:

[General Questions and Answers] inane:
just wondering if anyone has used the assisted gps functionality,.
[General Questions and Answers] Gajet:
3 UK have this functionality with some of their Motorola phones and I have to say it's a little rubbish. Time to Lock seems slow compared to a standalone GPS reciever despite the assisted part and when it does lock the possitioning is very vague and puts you in a general area rather than your exact location to within 10 meters.

Updating was also very slow and it would nowhere near be usable for car satellite navigation. (You would probably get away with walking, if it wasn't for the dodgy possitioning).

However 3 uk use it for finding local services, so in terms of a where's my local post office, cinema etc it works ok and will provide a map of the local area, so you could work out how to walk there.

I only tried this on a moto a835 and a925 so these may have been rather early models and GPS reciever quality may improve, but I wasn't impressed. I get much better functionality using a standalone bluetooth GPS reciever and 3rd party sat nav apps.

I see people are complaining about the same things, and every now and then a new topic is opened with similar questions and concerns. Therefore, I thought I would make this topic where anyone has question or concern could come and get advice such as better way to get nigh shots or how to improve battery life ...etc. Some of the ideas in this topic will be from me and some others would be referring to other topics in this form so it gets easier for new owners to find answers to their questions and concerns and it will make the forum cleaner from the repetition. This will be quite a lot of work which would take couple of days so please be patient while I am working on it.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, things to add, remove or modify, please let me know. everything in here isn't mine, its from everyone in this forum.

I won't mention names because I don't want to forget anyone and because I don't remember from where I got some information but thanks for everyone contributed and if you need your name in, please PM me.

Battery

You need to understand few things to squeeze the most out of your battery. the basic answer is to monitor your battery and avoid things that drain your battery. so what uses more battery, I will put list of things that use the most battery in order (what use the most to the least). The list came from me monitoring every single one alone (it might not be accurate though)

1- Processor

2- screen

now people would say that screen uses more than processor. In order to test this, charge your phone to 100% unplug it and directly play heavy HD game for 30-60 min and go and check battery stats, you will see the game no.1 then screen no.2. the problem with the processor is that when it heats up, it wastes ALOT of battery as the heat is just energy came from the battery. if you want to extend you battery life, you should start with these two as they use more battery than everything else. To make it simpler I would say 1 hour of screen on uses battery enough to keep your wifi on for >1day (and I mean wifi not the whole phone with wifi on)

Recommendations:

a- Avoid using apps/games that heat your phone (most games does, but try to avoid when possible)

b- Avoid using your phone while hot (this will degrade the battery and the screen and will hurt other internals such as processor in the long run and will also waste too much battery)

c- If you are a heavy gamer you might need to underclock your processor (to protect your phone from heat and extend battery life), I would say 1.5-1.7Ghz is good. Here is topic about underclocking

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467743&highlight=tips

d- Reduce the brightness will save you good few hours of use

3- auto sync

4- 3G/4G

5- wifi

6- GPS

I put auto sync first because in order to have working auto sync, you will need wifi or data + processor to process what are you syncing

GPS actually consume more battery than wifi when both are working, but the good thing about GPS is that if it is not in use even if it is on, it doesn't use battery unless it was needed to locate the phone.

Recommendation

Turn them off when not needed. There are certain apps in the play store that turn off wifi, data and auto sync when screen off then turn them back on when screen is turned on. I use tasker which does this and check for downloads before turning off wifi or data.

Additional recommendations

Uninstall/disable apps that you don't use, especially the ones that are running in the background but don't overuse this and disable everything because you are better off having an old nokia that will last longer than any smartphone currently available.

here is topic about disabling apps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2510774

Performance

Although I don't have any issue with regard to the performance of my Z1. But here are couple of suggestions to improve the performance even further.

1- Disable/Uninstall apps not in use and working in the background (more details in previous post about Battery)

2- Use various Karnels or ROMs available (you need to be rooted or have unlocked bootloader, I am not responsible about anything)

3- One guy suggested the use of Seeder.apk which was useful (I haven't tried it though, but if you want to, go ahead), here is the link

[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
Camera

Before going into more details on how to get better shots, you need to know that the camera in the Z1 is like Pro camera compared to some other smartphones where the camera is more like point and shoot camera. What I mean by this is that the Z1 provides lots of setting which you can play with to get better shots. There is auto mode but it doesn't give the best results, just like pro camera, all professional users use manual modes to get the best shots and they change the settings according to the picture they want to take. This is the case with the Z1, you need to know few things and play with the settings to know how to get the best results. What I will provide here is just a guideline that isn't necessarily going to give the best results everytime and certainly not to for every taste.

Things you need to consider

in most cases:

1- 8mp images are better than 20mp images.

2- 4:3 gives better results than 16:9 because it uses the whole sensor.

3- Manual gives better results than iAuto even though all other settings were auto.

4- The new .257 gives better results the previous versions

5- Turning on HDR or Timeshift burst improve the images sometimes

Good lightening situations

you probably don't need to play much with the settings if you are capturing images in good lights.

However, few people suggested few things that can improve the images including:

1- Lower the ISO between 50-200 (this will reduce the shutter speed which is not good if you have shaky hands or you are capturing moving objects)

2- lower EV which have similar effect to lowering ISO but without lowering the shutter speed (

which I found a better choice

)

Poor lightning conditions

Here is the difficulty were you might need to change the settings from image to image and need to test different suggestions to find the best shots. Auto mode doesn't work great here either. Few people suggested few things such as

1- lowering the ISO to 50-200 and slightly increasing the EV (it does reduce the noise but increase the chance of blurry images and reduce the brightness of the images as well)

2- I suggest using "Night Portrait" scene without modifying any other settings (it gives good images with minimum noise without making the images dark or blurry)

Using Other apps

Some people suggested using other apps and they gave better results but I didn't use any. here is the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47321605&postcount=13

At the end, here is a link to a website of one of the developers who gave few suggestion for better images

[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
Speaker

Again, the speaker of the Z1 comes with lots of settings, so you might need to play with them to find what suits you. But you need to remember that different songs might sound better with different settings.

ClearAudio+ is like auto mode with the camera. It tries to find the best settings for each song. It is good at doing so but you can get better results (louder and of better quality) if you manually adjusted it.

first you need to untick ClearAudio+ to be able to go to sound enhancements. Tick Dynamic normalizer. then click on settings and tick Clear Stereo, Clear phase and XLoud and set surround sound to Studio. then go to the Equaliser. here you can adjust the settings to your taste. However, if you don't have special preferences, you can move all sliders to +10 to get even louder sound from the speaker (it does make difference).

By following these simple steps, I got louder speaker than Nexus 5 and SGS4, even in this sealed phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
Reserved
[Xperia Z1 General] Mohaakotb:
are you sure about +10 equaliser doesnt effect spaker on the long run performance ??
[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
It is not the +10 equalizer. but having everything on the highest with already high volume song will probably have an effect. I usually have the equalizer at +10 but then reduce the volume if the song was so high (easy to do it with the volume buttons rather than changing the equalizer every so often). But then there are MODs that increase the volume of the speaker where you can do this with ease
[Xperia Z1 General] f0xy:
Why should you have to avoid using certain apps on your smartphone if it heats up, surely this indicates a fault? A brand new phone shouldn't heat up til its unusable...

Mrs has a z1 and it gets mega hot so we are returning it to Sony
[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
Faulty units needs to be returned for sure. I am talking about good units but faulty apps (which you need to avoid). There are apps and games that heat the phone unnecessarily (which are poorly built) those are the one you need to avoid especially if there are better built ones that does the same thing without heating the phone.

I use heat as an indication of how well an app is built (this isn't necessarily accurate) but if you find an app that does very little yet heats the phone quickly, then you either have faulty unit or the app is poorly built and if there is replacement app that does the same job without heating the phone, then you need to avoid using the first app (that what I meant by trying to avoid apps that heat the phone if you can)
[Xperia Z1 General] 3r1k:
Try playing PvZ2 without heating your device up, it's not possible.
[Xperia Z1 General] ahomad:
I said in the original article that most games heat the phone. And my advice was to avoid using WHEN possible. The post you were replying to was about apps rather than games and specifically the apps that you can find replacements to.
